Sammy Watkins is toast, his saving grace has been showing up for the playoffs the last 2 years but how much of it is having Hill and Kelce healthy because he did not show up when Hill was injured. Cut him, make the cap space for signing your rookies at a minimum. Also, allows you to make room by restructuring others, especially in a WR deep class.

 

Sammy Watkins' cap hit is $21 million. Yes, 1 player can make that big of a difference.

Cut Mahomes.

Cheap bastages....

Yeah he’s probably done. At least he got a ring.

Maybe they should switch to Geico.  Or stay at Holiday Inn Express when on the road...

He was always overhyped and injury prone.

Spotrac has them at minus 1.6M.  That's why Watkins will be cut and Ballard will be there to sign him.  Watkins, TY and Campbell would be an awesome trio.  Here's hoping anyway.

Watkins is hurt way too often

That would not stop me from signing him.  Compared to all of the receivers still available in FA he is by far the superior talent.  We are in a win now mode.  You take the chance.  Just like they are doing with Rhodes and Rivers for that matter.  I wouldn't be surprised if some of our current cap space is being ear marked for him anticipating his release.  JMO.

Watkins, Clowney etc, i think are going to command too much. I could be wrong but i just dont see us getting either of them.

[coltsva]

Well...I think if they were asked if being in salary cap heck in 2020 was worth a SB trophy in 2019, the answer would be a resounding “yes.”

 

will be interesting to see if it has ramifications over the next few years.

I don't "think" we will...  but i do hope we get both of them.

Just saw on NFL live today that Clowney has dropped his asking price to 17-18M from his original 20M. Titans are reportedly talking to his agent and staying close to the situation.

clowney is overrated. Simply because of where he was drafted.  Watkins I'd like, but itd have to be heavily with health incentives

Which is why Yannick Ngakoue is so way off base with his demands. At least Clowney can play on running downs, unlike Yannick. If I was him I'd sign that tender for 19 million, it's guaranteed money and I highly doubt he'd get a better deal..

Get him in the right scenario and his ceiling is multiple defensive MVPs and probowls.  I'm just gonna hope we sign him and get the best version of him.  Feeling optimistic today lol

[pacolts56]

Maybe they had to limit player salaries to cover Andy Reid’s meal per diem.

Resigned Watkins for another huge contract with some as preformance bonuses. Seems like all these teams have money to sign multiple big free agents. They still have a huge one to sign, then next year a 40 million man..

Trade him to the Colts.  

[Valpo2004]

It says they have about 3M now so they must have made some moves.  

 

If you look at their salary cap table they are pretty heavily leveraged in terms of guaranteed funds.

 

There is only 3 players they could cut that would free up more than 5M in cap space.

 

Chris Jones (who is on a 5th year option)

Eric Fisher 

Travis Kelce

 

Things improve a bit next year but they lose a lot of players.  I don't know all their players to determine how key they are though.  

 

The other thing to consider is that Mahomes has this year and presumably a 5th year option for next year that they will invoke.  So by the looks of it they arn't going to be able to keep their team together for very long.  Mahomes is probably going to get close to 40M per year.  

 

If they are going to be a dynasty they are gonna have to draft well.

That cap space was created by the recent restructuring of Watkins' contract.

But I have a thyroid condition. 

[aaron11]

pretty common for the super bowl winners to be tight on money and lose people in free agency.  looks like they have another year before this team breaks up

So they don't have enough bucks to buy official NFL "caps" for the entire team. "What price glory?"
